Furey, bishop of the San Die- go Catholic diocese, told the audience of an estimated 3,000 p e r 5 o n s that the efforts to ··obtain public ·l1pport of the universitv have not b or n e much fruit. But we are on our way." Help will come when the aims of the university are bet- ter k n o w n "and especially when people realize what t11e university means to our com- munity," he said. "Brighter days are ahead for all of us." he said. "I hope and I believe that brighter days are ahead for all institu- tions of higher learning."

"Don't be sucked in by short- term improvement," he said. ··Your beautiful University of San Diego is much like life today, going through a period of change;• he said. "It is moving ahead, adapting itself to the needs of r · chang- ing times."
